Christie’s bad day: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a possible 2016 Republican presidential contender, was confronted by protesters at a pair of events Tuesday. The Star-Ledger reports Christie was booed by “about five dozen Paterson public school teachers” who were protesting their contracts. “Christie’s gotta go!” they chanted. And as Business Insider reports, Christie faced protests over his handling of contracts with teachers unions later in the day, at a town hall in Caldwell. The governor blamed “union heads” for the disturbances.

Money machine: The Wall Street Journal reports Bill and Hillary Clinton helped raise more than $1 billion from U.S. companies and industry donors during two decades on the national stage, through campaigns, paid speeches and a network of organizations advancing their political and policy goals. The Journal tallied speaking fees and donations to Bill Clinton’s 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, Hillary Clinton’s bids for Senate and president, and other Clinton-related donations. The Clintons raised between $2 billion and $3 billion from all sources, with between $1.3 billion and $2 billion coming from industry sources, the Journal said.

The Hill writes that some want Obama to essentially legalize the millions of undocumented immigrants who would be eligible for work permits under the bill passed by the Senate last summer. “The administration should act boldly and without further delay,” said AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka on Tuesday.

It just gets worse: Congress has a very short list of must-do items as relations between Democrats and Republicans seem to be getting worse in the buildup to the midterm elections. The New York Times writes the minimal expectations for achievement in the final months of the 113th Congress are sinking lower, if that is possible. And failure to act in some cases could imperil the economic recovery: If Congress can’t reach agreement on spending bills or stopgap funding by Oct. 1, for example, another government shutdown could result.

Not without a fight:Chris McDaniel, the tea-party-backed challenger who lost to Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran in last week’s GOP Senate runoff, still won’t accept he lost. The Associated Press reports McDaniel has shown no evidence to support his claim that voter fraud was behind Cochran’s win. But a spokesman for McDaniel said the campaign continues to examine poll books for possible examples of crossover voting prohibited by state law. Spokesman Noel Fritsch said the campaign is in a “holding pattern” while it collects evidence.
